Don Coatney Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 I believe filters were a dealer installed option. That is why there are so many varities of filters available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertKB Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 I have an oil filter canister taken from a '54 Canadian Dodge. I am certain that this filter has been on the car since new. This is the one that takes the replaceable cartridges. PM or email me if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TodFitch Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 I believe filters were a dealer installed option. That is why there are so many varities of filters available. Maybe in the era of the P15. An oil filter was standard equipment on the 1933 Plymouth. Within a few years after that it became standard on the deluxe but optional on the standard or Roadking models.

47dodgepu211 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 My 47 truck does not have a filter either. The fittings are there but they are plugged which tells me that the filter was removed. I see in your pix, just forward of the starter there is a right angle fitting and a vertical fitting just below it. Which one is the output to the filter. Also I have a fitting just behind the generator which goes to the oil pressure gauge but I am not sure it works very well. It is a very small capillary tube which is probably not sufficient. comments?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodney Bullock Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 my 52 Plymouth motor in my 1940 does not have a filter. I tried to put one in however because of all the additional stuff for my gas petal I can't get the canister in place. I change the oil every year and always check it's level. I would rather have one, it is very nessasary:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeLeonard Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 By using bendable brake lines for oil lines, cant you put the filter pretty much wherever you want to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyHarold Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 By using bendable brake lines for oil lines, cant you put the filter pretty much wherever you want to? Yes you can. I've done that in a couple of my cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Rodney my truck one was rather difficult too because of the foot operated starter. But if you buy brake lines and bend your own you can get one installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinsailor Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 I had lines made with the flexible hoses and stainless steel braid, stainless fittings. You could make them any length - put it on the fenderwell, firewall or trunk. I had mine made by a guy who makes them for race cars. He put exactly the correct fittings, angled as I asked and all. About $70 for a set and they look stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
47dodgepu211 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 The right angle fitting is the pressure line. It should be at the same level as your oil pressure line gauge output. The vertical fitting is the return from the filter canister. Oil gauge line is a small line. Probably only 1/8" It is just pressure. no oil moving in there unless you unhook it at the gauge and crank up. On the truck do you have the small hose mounted in the line to the gauge the way the cars do? possibly deteriorated. You can connect a gauge directly at the block and see what you get for a reading. Thanks for the info. I will hook it up that way. Filter is a spin-on type with adapter. I will recheck my In and Out on the filter adapter. I have a new oil pressure dash gauge connected with 1/8 copper tubing to the front block fitting. The original gauge read 60 psi when cold and estimated 18 when fully warmed up. Now I am seeing 50 psi cold and 5 psi hot. Not sure if my filter is connected properly or it is the gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andydodge Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 47dodgepu211........the oil filter you describe sounds like a late model spin on filter........my understanding is that if you use these type of "full flow" filter on the "by pass" oil line fittings as you may have done then you will get very low oil pressure readings as you seem to have, I'm no expert tho'.........is there someone else on the line who can confirm this?.......andyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe mcginnis Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 I make a replacement filter that looks just like the throwaway type that came on the early Ply&Dodges. Inside the screw apart housing is a spin-on Neon filter. If you use the original size 1/8 inch lines you should not have a loss of oil pressure at idle. - joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andydodge Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 I had no oil filter when I bought a "restored" P11 Coupe, idled at 35psi, ran at 40-45psi.......installed a Beehive By Pass filter and the oil pressure readings are still the same.....andyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony WestOZ Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 I cannot see how changing to a spin on oil filter can effect the oil pressure. Oil pressure is contoled by the pressure relief valve in the engine block. As long as you are not drilling out the block to take larger lines you should not have any problem.

Andydodge Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Well I was told be a couple of people that using a spin on filter with the larger oil lines would result in low pressure.......andyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58prostreet Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 I just installed a remote bypass filter. Used 1/4 inch rubber lines. There was no drop in oil pressure. The lines supplied with the kit were much bigger, and had I used them, I could see where I may have had a drop in pressure. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
